What is PRINCE2?

PRINCE2 is an acronym for PRojects IN Controlled Environments.

It is a course that is open to anyone, it is a great way to start you career or enhance it in project management.

It is a processed method that is globally recognised and shows employers that you are competent in handling and leading projects.

This method can be changed to implement any size or scope. The methodology of this course has proven itself countless times to be an effective management method.

There are many project management courses but only PRINCE2 has the ability to be fully tailor able to any size project. All other methods are considered to be too rigid or assertive.

PRINCE2 consists of two different levels, Foundation and Practitioner, however the Practitioner certification can only be achieved once the Foundation course has been successfully passed.

The Foundation course introduces the methods and basic terminology of PRINCE2 which can be implemented in any project regardless of the size.

Both levels of training can be completed via distance learning and exams can be both written at home or at an authorised exam centre. Upon passing both Foundation and the Practitioner courses, you will be a registered Practitioner with internationally recognised PRINCE2 certifications.

The History of PRINCE2

The course was introduced in 1989 but was named PROMPT II. In 1989 the CCTA (Central Computer and Telecommunications Agency) used this method for IT services in in the UK government and had decided to rename the method to PRINCE. Later in 1989 during a civil service competition, the PRINCE acronym changed and now stands for PRojects INControlled Environments.

It soon became obvious that the project management method could be used in other areas other than IT and in 1996, it was released as a generic project management method and called PRINCE2.
